Living low carb in an Asian world

Christmas Frenzy

The baking has started and I thought this brief post would just link a couple of great recipes for Christmas baking.

Now these little guys are crazy good. I’m baking a huge batch of this for my clinic nurses (the many long-suffering souls who stay back when my clinic inevitably runs late), as well as my endocrinologist (to convince him that low carb is great and sustainable).

I also had a crateload of fun yesterday making gingerbread men. I admit these weren’t quite the chewy gingerbread men I used to make but these still definitely had a Christmassy flavour and held up well to handling and icing. As you can see I got a little bored after a while and the little men got more and more manic-looking as time went on.

Kid#2 gave up after decorating 1 man and a couple of stars…in the end I felt I was like the kid left to play alone in the sandbox…but I guess the inner child in me hopped out and took over the icing decorating happily.

I love your blog, and thank you for these alternatives to Christmas baking. With 2 teenage boys in the house, and a history of manic Christmas baking (before I was a full-time teacher), I need something to help them feel in the holiday spirit. We have tons of snow where we come from, and it’s a little depressing right now. These upside down gingermen will make a big difference.

ASIAN LOW CARB FOOD QUEST

It's Singapore. The natives are restless. They seem to think of food from the time they wake up in the morning till the wee hours of the morning. To survive this food jungle, low carbers must go on a quest to discover how to avoid traps like rice, noodles and wheat. Join me on this journey of rediscovering Asian food the low-carb way. You may yet survive this quest.
